How to Prepare for Science
Placement Tests
Junior
high and high school science textbooks are excellent resources for preparing for
science placement tests. You can also find science textbooks in most
public libraries.
The Basic Science Placement Test contains questions about general
physical science concepts including the structure of the atom. It also contains
questions to test the math skills you will use in introductory college level
science courses (e.g., unit conversions, mathematical manipulation of
exponential numbers, etc). You are exempt from this test if you have college
credit (C or better) in physics or chemistry.
The Chemistry Placement Test contains material covered in the first year
of high school chemistry. You are exempt from this test if you did not
take chemistry in high school. If you did take chemistry in junior high or high
school, you will take this test, and you will enroll in either CHEM 1013,
CHEM 1023, or CHEM 1113 as determined by your score on this test (provided you
pass the Basic Science Test.) You are exempt from this test if you have college
credit (C or better) in physics or chemistry, and may enroll in the next science
course listed in your degree plan.
